गजेन्द्रो भगवत्स्पर्शाद्विमुक्तोऽज्ञानबन्धनात् ।
प्राप्तो भगवतो रूपं पीतवासाश्चतुर्भुजः ॥
 
Released from the bond of nescience at
the touch of the Lord, the elephant-king
attained God's own form, with yellow
garment and four arms.
 
स वै पूर्वमभूद्राजा पाण्डयो द्रविडसत्तमः ।
इन्द्रद्युम्न इति ख्यातो विष्णुव्रतपरायणः ॥

Previously, he had been a Pandyan
king, the most eminent among the
Dravidas, Indradyumna by name, con-
stantly devoted to the worship of Vishnu.
 
स एकदाऽऽराधनकाल आत्मवान्
गृहीतमौनव्रत ईश्वरं हरिम् ।
समर्चयामास यहच्छया मुनिः
समागमच्छिष्यगणैः परिश्रितः ॥
 
Once, during the time of worship, that
Indradyumna, of self-possession, had
undertaken a vow of silence and was
worshipping Lord Hari when, by chance,
the sage (Agastya) arrived (there)
surrounded by his disciples.
